I just love finding healthy versions of classic (usually pretty unhealthy) meals and who wouldn’t want a healthy mushroom risotto? This is my own recipe that I threw together last night and it’s a winner! It is so easy, it’s ridiculous…
Ingredients
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
A little olive oil for frying
1 large punnet of mixed, chopped mushrooms
1,5 cups quinoa
About 4 cups of vegetable stock
1/2 green chilli
Handful of baby spinach
- Fry 1 onion and 2 cloves of garlic in olive oil
- Add a large punnet of mixed mushrooms and some mixed herbs of your choice. Cook it all up and set aside for later.
- Cook about 1.5 cups of quinoa as per package instructions, but use vegetable stock instead of water
- Add the mushroom mixture to the quinoa
- Add some chopped fresh green chilli
- Throw in a handful of baby spinach leaves to wilt
- Serve with grated Parmesan (or nutritional yeast for a vegan version)
Serves about 6
